Does the old structured data testing tool still work properly? Started getting unusual errors on there
The old structured data testing tool which is apparently being replaced by Rich Results Test seems to have issues lately. I get errors on sites where there are no issues, and sometimes it isn’t even displaying structured data results. Is this because they’re shutting it down?
A real shame because it’s always been the best tool for checking valid schema.
The Rich Results Test is garbage and doesn’t provide any detailed info on valid/invalid schema.

Are you talking about google rich data tool?
I had bookmarklet which is still working and one click.
Plus my understanding is you can have multiple json ld schema on a page. Vs back in the early days only one type.

Yea, it’s not as reliable anymore. I use the rich results tester more now, especially for site’s using lots of JS.

It’s deprecated and they mention it. Please use Rich Results Test instead. If you don’t have enough information, you can verify on production via Google Search Console.

Yes, you are right. I have just checked schema for my website because semrush is showing some error in a schema and when I checked in the rich results, it shows the schema is perfect. However, I find the mistake and Semrush has given me a green single for that.
The error is I have created a schema for blog posting in microdata there is one itemprop which should be headline instead of that we are using name headline. I just changed the same and the schema issue has been resolved.
